I'm going to buy a new laptop, mainly looking at the Dell XPS 15 with INFINITY EDGE(!)
The thing i'm unsure about is the 4k screen.
I hear about the scaling sucking ass on Windows, mainly older programs etc. But it is very hard to find good information on this.
Can anyone comment on 4k scaling in Windows (10)?
The reason i want the XPS 15 is because i want some kind of dedicated GPU (going abroad for half a year so some light gaming would be nice).
I DO NOT want to buy a MSI gayming laptop made to look like a childs toy. The Dell looks very nice and has great specs, there is basically no equivalent.
>>51387885
well, I have the same question, so I'll bump your thread, OP.
and yes, for that price, there's no equivalent. it's probably the first laptop to beat the 15" rMBP (yes, it's one of the best options out there, /g/; it doesn't matter how much you hate it), even though we have to wait for battery life, which was incredibly poor in the previous generation of 15" XPS.
sadly, the scaling, like you said, is just fucking bad on Windows, but as a potential buyer of that laptop too I'm interested in how it works on W10.
I'll wait for answers.

I built a homeserver, pic related, but soon after I realized that it is pretty much overkill (at the moment).
I only use it for storage, sometimes plex (local) but I want to stream stuff with plex via interwebz (that is why the cpu is kinda strong).
It is a 24/7 machine and therefore I want to underclock it to lower the cost.
How to do it? I have a msi board and can't reach multiplier (duh obviously) or vcore.

Save yourself some trouble and get something like a Raspberry Pi.
>>51387942
How good would a cluster of 2 or 4 rpi's working together be?
Would it be easy to set up?
I'm thinking of doing that for my own home server.
Also, fuck captcha.
>>51388002
>Clustering Pis
Wouldn't know, never tried it, but running a single Pi would be fine as well if you only do storage and HTPC. Streaming over the WAN isn't an issue for the Pi (the bottleneck may, however, be your network speed), transcoding would be a problem for the Pi but why would anyone do so nowadays.

SJWs in tech have finally gone off the rails.
A user commented in a discussion thread about the node.js code of conduct which included an eggplant emoji. How did node react?
First, they banned him - they accused him of trying to intimidate woman contributors with the 'phallic' eggplant. not only from the CoC repo, but also from all of node.
Next, they created a thread to discuss how to punish him: https://archive.is/7b1iG
Finally, they got anorexia and deleted the thread. The user remains banned.
How can we save tech from the SJW plague? First Mozilla, now node.js. What next? Will Linus be executed for not being feminist enough?
For continued lulz, see https://github.com/nodejs/inclusivity/issues where such important programming questions are being raised as "Inclusivity to the non neurotypical."
>>51386471
Someone make a dragon dildo emoji/icon whatever for people to use.
If they're going to get upset about something they may as well get upset about something worthwhile.
SJW went off the rails a long time ago. Ironically, the only way to not get shit on is to

>not respond to comments from SJW
Men and women are ok in tech, men just have a higher disposition to the field. Finding radical ideologues and getting rid of them is harder than you think.

dude posted an eggplant next to a roll of toilet paper, and nothing else, in a sensitive thread.
dude knew exactly where he was and what he was doing.
pretty clear he was out to push buttons.

Seems good on the shell. But a few questions must be asked.
Is it an Optimus device? If so, does it have a MUX?
If it doesn't have a MUX, do *NOT* buy.
What brand is it? How good is its construction quality?
Is it known for heating up too much?

idk desu senpai, but I'm 100% certain that this is THE CPU to have NSA backdoors.

>>51386213
It's probably more smartphones that will largely end consoles.
And well, PC. Somehow I guess the internet convinced a lot of people. Console sales aren't as good as they used to be, and obviously more people play games nowadays than back then.

It's probably going to suck
I'm wanting to wire my house with ethernet. I've tried looking for a guide that will help me pick out the hardware but I'm not having much luck. Is there a guide that will help me figure out what features I'll need and want from a switch and firewall?

Ask yourself these questions:
-number of hosts
-types of hosts (possible servers, what kind of services)
-do you plan to route inside your LAN
-medium types (ether, fiber, wi-fi)
If you can specify your needs then it's easier to choose what you need.
